multiple partitions, the import operation will not affect operations in
other partitions.
You must have access to the library’s I/E station and the operator panel
to import cartridges.
Note:
If your library has zero I/E station slots, you cannot import or
export media using the I/E station. See
Configuring I/E Station
Slots
on page 63.
Note:
Importing cartridges using the library interface may necessitate
performing an inventory on your host application. You can also
import cartridges using your host application. See your host
application documentation for more information.
Note: Note on importing unassigned tape cartridges:
When the
manual cartridge assignment setting is enabled (the default
setting), the
I/E Assign
screen automatically appears on the
operator panel after you have loaded the cartridges into the I/E
station and closed the I/E station. The screen prompts you to
assign the cartridges to a specific partition or to the system
partition. The cartridges can then be used only by the assigned
partition. If you do not wish to assign cartridges to a partition
immediately, or you wish to assign them to different partitions
via the Web client, you can cancel out of this screen and the
cartridges are considered “unassigned.” Alternatively, you can
disable manual cartridge assignment (operator panel,
Setup >
System Settings > Man Cart Assign
; see
Manual Cartridge
Assignment
on page 95). In this case, the
I/E Assign
screen
does not appear on the operator panel and the cartridges are
considered “unassigned.” Unassigned cartridges in the I/E
station are available for use by any partition, including the
system partition. However, you can only import or move
unassigned cartridges into the library when manual cartridge
assignment is disabled. Once imported or moved into a
partition, the cartridges are considered assigned to that
partition and can only be used by that partition.
